Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamping device technology, and in particular to a paper box clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] In the fast food and food retail industry, cardboard boxes are widely used to package various foods, including cooked buns.

[0003] Traditional methods rely on manual labor, requiring workers to manually place buns into cardboard boxes. This is not only inefficient and increases labor costs, but also potentially leads to food hygiene issues due to human error. With the continuous development of automation technology, using robotic arms for food packaging has become a trend. However, devices that ensure the stability of cardboard boxes in confined spaces, facilitating the placement of buns by robotic arms, remain largely undeveloped.

[0004] At the same time, the production process on the production line also lacks corresponding devices to clamp the cardboard boxes.

[0005] Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "several" or "more than" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] In view of the technical problems described in the background art, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a paper box clamping device is provided, comprising: a mounting bracket 1; a first slide rail 2, the first slide rail 2 being disposed on the left side of the mounting bracket 1, and a first clamping plate 3 being mounted on the slider of the first slide rail 2; a second slide rail 4, the second slide rail 4 being disposed on the right side of the mounting bracket 1, and a second clamping plate 5 being mounted on the slider of the second slide rail 4; a motor 6, the motor 6 being disposed on the mounting bracket 1, and the output end of the motor 6 being positioned between the first slide rail 2 and the second slide rail 4; a transmission assembly 7, the transmission assembly 7 being mounted on the output end of the motor 6, and the transmission assembly 7 being connected to the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 5 respectively; and a control system, the control system being used to receive signals and output signals; wherein, the motor 6 drives the transmission assembly 7 to the sliders of the first slide rail 2 and the second slide rail 4, thereby causing the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 5 to move relative to each other, so as to clamp or release the paper box.

[0026] The above technical solution is applicable to scenarios such as automated vending machines or production lines, and mainly achieves the clamping of food cartons. The food carton structure includes a first box and a second box. The first box has space to hold food, and one side of the second box is connected to one side of the first box. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 is made of sturdy metal material, with sufficient strength and stability to support the entire clamping device. The shape and size of the mounting bracket 1 can be adjusted according to the actual application scenario, so that the mounting bracket 1 can be installed in the confined space of the vending machine.

[0027] The slide rail includes a slider and a guide rail. The first slide rail 2 and the second slide rail 4 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the mounting bracket 1 to guide the movement of the clamping plate. The slide rail adopts a high-precision, low-friction design to ensure that the clamping plate can move smoothly and quickly. The length of the slide rail can be adjusted according to the size of the cardboard box.

[0028] The first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 5 are respectively installed on the sliders of the first slide rail 2 and the second slide rail 4. The relative movement of the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 5 clamps the cardboard box, giving the cardboard box a certain load-bearing capacity, which makes it easier for the robot arm to hold the buns and put them into the cardboard box.

[0029] Motor 6 employs a high-precision, low-noise design to ensure stable operation of the clamping device. The power and speed of motor 6 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The control system can utilize PLC, microcontroller, or other control units to achieve automated control of motor 6.

[0030] When it is necessary to grip the cardboard box, the control system receives a signal and outputs a command to motor 6. Motor 6 starts and drives the transmission assembly 7 to move. The transmission assembly 7 drives the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 5 to move relative to each other, gradually approaching and clamping the cardboard box. Once the cardboard box is clamped, the robotic arm can pick up food such as buns and place them in the designated position. When it is necessary to release the cardboard box, the control system outputs a command to motor 6 again. Motor 6 reverses and drives the transmission assembly 7 to move in the opposite direction, causing the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 5 to gradually separate and release the cardboard box.

[0031] Specifically, the transmission assembly 7 includes a first transmission rod 8, a second transmission rod 9, and a third transmission rod 10; the left end of the first transmission rod 8 is hinged to the right end of the second transmission rod 9, and the left end of the second transmission rod 9 is hinged to the first clamping plate 3; the right end of the first transmission rod 8 is hinged to the left end of the second transmission rod 9, and the right end of the second transmission rod 9 is hinged to the second clamping plate 5.

[0032] With the transmission component 7 designed in this way, when the motor 6 rotates forward, it drives the first transmission rod 8 to rotate. Since the second transmission rod 9 and the third transmission rod 10 are hinged to the ends of the first transmission rod 8, the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 5 move relative to each other to clamp the paper box. When the motor 6 rotates in reverse, the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 5 move relative to each other to loosen the paper box.

[0033] Specifically, the first clamping plate 3 includes a first base plate 11, a first side plate 12, and a first clamping plate 13; the first base plate 11 is connected to the slider of the first slide rail 2, the first side plate 12 is perpendicular to the first base plate 11, the first side plate 12 is hinged to the second transmission rod 9, and the first clamping plate 13 is disposed on the first base plate 11 and extends outward. The first clamping plate 3 is inclined.

[0034] The second clamping plate 5 includes a second base plate 14, a second side plate 15, and a second clamping plate 16; the second base plate 14 is connected to the slider of the second slide rail 4, the second side plate 15 is perpendicular to the second base plate 14 and is hinged to the second transmission rod 9, and the second clamping plate 16 is disposed on the second base plate 14 and extends outward. The second clamping plate 5 is inclined.

[0035] In this embodiment, both the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 5 are set in an inclined state, that is, the extension direction of the clamping plate forms a certain angle with the plane of the bottom plate. This design allows the clamping plates to better adapt to the shape and size of the cardboard box when clamping it, improving the stability and accuracy of clamping. At the same time, the inclined clamping plates can also reduce the contact area with the cardboard box, reduce the degree of compression and deformation of the cardboard box, and further ensure the hygiene and safety of food.

[0036] The above does not limit the technical scope of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
